What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A luxury superyacht. And a killer picking you off, one by one...
A twist-filled summer thriller, perfect for fans of T.M. Logan's The Holiday and Lucy Clarke's The Castaways
When ex-marine Sarah French joins a luxury superyacht as on-board security, she's excited to get her life - and career - back on track.
Surrounded by crystal waters, it seems like the perfect place to start over.
As they head into open water, though, tensions between the crew quickly build. And when someone goes missing, Sarah has a terrifying realisation.
One of them is a killer. All of them are suspects.
To protect the other passengers, Sarah needs to uncover the killer's identity, and return the boat safely to shore.
But there's a storm on the horizon - and not all of them will make it out alive...

A fast-paced thriller that reminds me of a Hollywood blockbuster transferred to the page, full of intrigue and depth of knowledge and vibrant characters who are realised to maximum effect with a plot that sizzles with numerous twists and turns and had me on the edge of my seat!

Had this book in my list for perhaps a year, and upon looking at the cover, had thought I had bought one of those easy to listen to novels that are about absolutely nothing. Boy was I wrong, after about 30 mins of starting to listen to it had me hooked. It’s a fantastic book to listen too with a real in depth description of the vessels etc. in addition the reading of it was well above the 5 stars I’ve given it
Check the author towards the end and discovered I had previously listened to their other book which is also worth listening to.
Just hope the author releases another book soonNigel Tansley 2025-01-24
